Released: SharePoint WebPartSlices

To all the jQuery fans – Sorry, no jQuery this time! SharePoint WebPartSlices is a server-side solution that allows users to transform all Web Parts on a page into IE8 Web Slices simply by adding the webslices=1 querystring parameter to the url of the page containing the web parts to be transformed, basically allowing you to add web parts to your IE8 Favorites Bar.

Voilà – No need to navigate to the original page to see the updated Web Part.
